I was so saddened to hear of the passing of your mom. She was such a warm and vivacious lady who always made you feel welcome. She leaves behind an era we will never get back. May she rest in the peace she truly deserves. God bless the family at this time of sorrow.

We are truly sorry for your loss. You must be heartbroken. Your Mom was such a sweet lady. Always enjoyed chatting with her the many times spent at your house during my childhood. She will be missed. May the many fond memories you have of her live on in your hearts forever. Love to you all.
